Hi!
Ich hab mir ein paar zusätzliche gadgets für die vista sidebar geholt und eine bestimmte reihenfolge, wie ich es gerne haben möchte eingestellt.
nach jedem neustart sind die gadgets aber wieder "ungeordnet" und an einer anderen position, als die von mir ausgewählte. wieso ist das so? kann ich das irgendwie ändern?

Hallo, hatte das Problem auch und habe es endlich gelöst!
Ich habe das in einem englischsprachigem Forum gepostet, ich helfe beim Übersetzten, falls es da probleme geben sollte:
SOLUTION: fix the Windows Vista 64 Sidebar random positioning of gadgets on startup!!!
The problem is located in the 64bit version of the Sidebar. Since Vista 64 has the 32bit version also integrated, why not use that one instead?
I found out, if you open \Program Files (x86)\Windows Sidebar\sidebar.exe (only works by doubleclicking it in Windows Explorer, however not via shortcut (,yet
) the gadget positions are saved correctly again! Weird, but understandable. So u have to downgrade your Vista64 Sidebar to the Vista32 Sidebar.
Howto:
1. Firstly exit Windows Sidebar (Tray Icon-> exit)
2. Take full ownership of “\Program Files (x86)\Windows Sidebar” with all its subfolders
3. Take full ownership of “\Program Files\Windows Sidebar” with all its subfolders
4. Give the current user or, if you are member, the existing Administrators Group full control on both paths, too. Replace all exisiting inheritable permissions, too, again on both paths.
5. Download & Run the script:
http://alpg.de/Vista64SidebarReplacer.cmd
Or the manual way:
Rename the 64bit sidebar.exe in (f.ex.) sidebar.exe.x64
Copy the 32bit sidebar.exe to the 64bit folder
6. Start the Sidebar, look at the Gadget positions.
7. Exit and start Sidebar again to check if they stayed the positions like before.
8. Sit back, relax and ENJOY Sidebar again! (this step is a must
)
9. Optional: undo steps 2-4 (for security fanatics
)
More Details on some steps (for noobs
